All,
Could we agree that it can be useful to consider the other side? Perhaps other perspectives are not mentioned solely to disagree with an opinion. New information might be offered to build on a statement so as assert a unique and genuine concern. Additional information might be offered to expand, rather than limit horizons.

If so, symbolic means of inclusion that serve some well might be inadequate for others. Discussion of the variable values can be constructive.
